Bob, your list of modalities doesn't match up with research by others.



"Some theorists and practitioners reduce learning modalities to three categories including visual, motor, and auditory. Visual children tend to learn by watching and looking at pictures and may be easily distracted by movement and action in the classroom. Those who respond to motor/kinesthetic stimuli tend to be involved and active, would rather do than watch, and prefer 'hands on' projects. Auditory children tend to learn by being told, respond to verbal instructions, and may be easily distracted by noise." Source: http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/prek2/issues/1101issue.shtm
